The story of the creation of Carlsbad Cavern begins 250 million years ago with the creation of a 400 mile long reef in an inland sea that covered this region. Eventually the reef became part of the Guadalupe Mountains and the underground chambers became the wonder of Carlsbad Cavern. The hundreds of tunnels, caves, and caverns in the caverns were formed when sulfuric acid dissolved masses of limestone to create these amazing wonders of nature. Today Carlsbad caverns is a beautiful underground oasis of limestone caves that amaze thousands of visitors each year.
